Walt Disney World Crystal Palace: Cheddar Breakfast Potatoes

Hubby and I are eating our way through all of the Disney Theme Parks cookbooks, and I was happy to find some yummy, easy, and classic breakfast dishes from the parks!

This particular dish is super cheesy, super creamy and way tasty! It is from The Crystal Palace at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, an all you can eat buffet featuring classic American dishes. The Crystal Palace also serves as a meet and greet location for Winnie the Pooh characters, all set in a gorgeous, Victorian style atrium. Aaaaaand, the dishes are all prepared before you in the onstage kitchen.

These potatoes are stupid easy to whip up, and they end up a creamy mass of goodness topped with a bubbling ocean of cheese. (Yeeeeah, boy!) And they reheat well! Enjoy!

How did I not know Disney park cookbooks were a thing? I swear I need to revisit as an adult because it would be such a different experience. I love picking up cookbooks as souvenirs too. Whenever I cook from them, it transports me back to that place. And just looking at this cheesy potato bake has me feeling all warm and cozy! …And hungry! lol

I mean this in the best way, this looks like something my mother would make and then force down 10 helpings to plump me up. Like I need that? I’m doing just fine on my own. Except she would add double the cheese. Ha. This looks delish. I love Disney food! So yummy. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, this looks so tasty! I’ve never been to Disney (I know, I’ve been deprived, haha) but I think the idea of a Disney cookbook is so cool and would love to try the repines, like this one! Perhaps you can share more?? I hope you have the best weekend ahead, beauty!
